Thanks Steve. I am not likely to get to Sight Village so can anyone point me in the direction of any suitable recorded information about WaveFinder please? -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steve Nutt Sent: Tuesday, June 21, 2005 7:49 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: GPS Again! Hi Carol, Just to give you a little perspective, the tel cos charge for GPRS by the megabyte. I think Orange works out at about four quid a meg. They are one of the cheapest I believe. Each route calculated by Wayfinder downloads a whapping 5 kilobytes. So it's going to take you a long time to reach that megabyte, if all you do is Wayfinder, isn't it?

No, the bank can stand a little more than that, but, seriously, I just did not know how much WAP costs were in terms of using GPS. -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steve Nutt Sent: Tuesday, June 21, 2005 5:59 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: GPS Again! Hi Carol, Because it uses GPRS, or your WAP service, the costs are about a penny per route. It is hardly going to break the bank <Smile>.

Justin, so you're saying, choose a destination and you'll find what's on the route. If you just want the nearest Police Station from your startingpoint and you have no idea where it is then you won't be given one. Still, good information can be gained along a route and that would be very much better than nothing at all! I am wondering what sort of phone costs were incurred to use this? -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Justin R Sent: Tuesday, June 21, 2005 3:18 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: GPS Again! Ah, what a shame you don't sell it Steve, I was hoping to look at that at this year's sight village, lol. Mind you, it'll be interesting to see if anyone's show casing wayfinder. anyway, to carol, yes, the idea is that wayfinder on your mobile is supposed to tell you along you're route what you're approaching, land marks like a police station, restaurants, clubs, names of roads etc. I believe you can programme in your destination in the wayfinder software and it's supposed to guide you to the very destination. I'm interested in this as, I think it would be brilliant for me personally. So, that''s as much as I know. I'm concerned on how acurate it is though ,but, that would need testing and.... erm... is that a good idea?

Steve, Does this mean that you can't locate a park, restaurant, or shop in a given area, unless you know the address of where it is? If this is so then the AA maps give that kind of information already. If I'm missing something here, please explain a little more. -- Carol HYPERLINK "mailto:carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx"carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx -- No virus found in this incoming message.
